Why a team with only one legit three point shooter is hoisting 27 threes is positively beyond me.

Here are some stone cold facts to digest. Dennis Felton's SEC road record now sits at a staggering 5-30 after 4.5 seasons. His overall record in true road games (neutral sites excluded) is 8-38. Here are the wins:

In fairness to Felton, he did beat Clemson, Oregon State, Gonzaga and a few tomato cans in neutral sites games in Atlanta/Gwinnett/Virgin Islands. However, he also lost to Clemson, ETSU, Ole Dominion, Tulane and others in neutral site games. Regardless, in a scary strange place surrounded by people that don't like the Red and Black...it's not so good.

Those are indisputable facts. If there's a mistake, you let me know, and I'll correct it.

Now, here's an opinion. We lose because we go for 5, 7 and 9 minutes without scoring more than a single field goal. Often these long stretches of ineptitude are punctuated with no timeouts from Felton. But mostly, I feel like we lose because we appear to lack the same intensity / effort on the road as at home. Again, that's my opinion.

The fact is that South Carolina had a 9-10 record going into this game and a coach that is being put out to pasture following this season because he didn't produce results.

Furthermore, while we're counting stats...Dennis Felton is now 69-70 at Georgia. If you eliminate Div II and HBCU teams (only because they are typically some of the lowest rated teams in college basketball) he is about 15 games under .500 in 4.5 years.

I've been to at least 6-8 basketball games a year for 17 years...some years many, many more games than that. I've seen us play in Boulder, Chicago, Charlotte, Columbia, Lexington, Nashville and a few other venues. I'm a hardcore Georgia Hoops fan. The program matters to me.

This...this "progress" and "steady climb" as Felton calls it is getting old.

I had patience and can't fault losses for those 1st 3 years, BUT lack of hustle etc. on the road, where you should be MOST focused is shocking. (And my HS teams shot better ALWAY than 1-23 etc. from 3 pt land, always. ALWAYS) Felton always said we'd be the toughest on the floor defensively, but we don;t even see that. Shame, he was a good coach, right guy, but the last 2 years have been brutal with his own guys, most pretty talented. Of course, most play playground ball now.

I was at the Colonial Center for the game last night. The offense was just diappointing. It reminded me of Hugh's offense nack when I was in school. The defensive effort was not bad, certainly several lapses but there was effort. I took my 90 year-old grandfather with me and his comments were "Georgia doesn't have an inside game" and "Georgia looked sloppy". From what I can see, no inside game + poor outside shooting = not much. I do like the freshman though.

The FACT is this team doesn't have the talent to win consistently. That was obvious before the season started when Brown and Mercer were dismissed. So, why go off on a tirade after every loss? We knew at the beginning of the year this was an NIT team at best. You going to blame Felton for Billy Humphrey missing his first ELEVEN 3pointers last night since Felton recruited him? Yes, they jacked up a lot of 3's, but where do you propose we go with the ball. Jeremy Price has his moments, but he's a true Frosh and still learning...and he's our best offensive post player. Bliss is our 2nd best offensive post player - that's all you need to know about the talent in the post on this team. He's a gamer, but he's usually physically overmatched and isn't going to average more than 6-8 points per game against conference competition.

We may not have UT's talent. But we sure as hell have South Carolina's talent. And frankly...if we don't have better talent than that program (which Odom has run into the ground), then that's a bigger problem than last night's outcome.

I agree with most of what everyone is saying. Sometimes I love Felton and sometimes I wonder about his coaching ability. Mercer and Brown are old enough to know better when it comes to missing classes and such but for Felton to let things get THIS out of control with them is disappointing. The lack of intensity shown by a lot of the players makes me wonder how much they really care about winning and the basketball program itself. We already know Singleton, Brown, and Mercer are extremely selfish and do not care about their team/fans/coaches who showed them nothing but support. As a student, I have heard numerous times throughout the season about how we don't show enough support at the games. It's hard for students to care about the basketball program when we just keep getting disappointed.

I've been a Felton supporter since he got to Georgia. He had very little to work with and has (albeit slowly) built the program back up from horrible to mediocre. This year should have been a season to turn the corner and become a factor in the SEC. Not win it, but at least be a factor. Everybody except UT has issues this year in the east. The dogs are just so uninspired. There's no intensity. I hate to say it, but Felton's been here too long to have such little to show. Let's hope that the team can turn it around like the football team did this year. It needs to start on saturday and it needs to start with coaching. If these guys could show some fire, they could go pretty far in a weakened SEC east.

In fairness, I've never found the soap dispensers at Stegeman to be so much of a problem, but those trough urinals??? Yick.

Seriously, though...Count me as another former Felton bandwagoner who has officially gone off the rails. As I've said many times on the Run and elsewhere, I care what kind of hand you're dealt, it simply doesn't take that long to build a basketball program if you've got the right components. In-state talent base? Check. Top-notch facilities (and their implicit administrative backing)? Check. Quality coaching? Eh, not so sure about that one anymore.

As I've also said elsewhere, All of this would be more tolerable if Felton weren't such a stubborn and insufferable megalomaniac.

Seriously...Who cares? If the players aren't giving it their all, then they obviously don't. It's sad when another sport's recruiting news is more interesing. Part of me wants DF gone, and losing is the best way to accomplish that...

PWD - I feel your pain. Can't argue with the record either. The only caution I would have is, let's make sure a new HC is going to win so we don't have to be back to the drawing board every few years. And don't compromise integrity; at least CDF has done that right.

Felton supporters make nothing but excuses. We're in the same boat now we were when Felton got here, only there's far less talent. He doesn't recruit that well to begin with and he can't keep the kids he does recruit on the team. I'm tired of it. UGA deserves better than this. Let him take his schtick back to a small school, we're a bigtime program and with our resources we need to go after a bigtime name.

Another Former Felton Supporter here who is also now off the bandwagon. Here is why I am off the bandwagon. Despite the fact that Felton has slowly improved the program year to year and despite the fact he is doing it "the right way" I still have yet to see the players believing or buying into his program. When your 2 best players are missing class and getting into trouble, then you as a coach have failed to inspire them both on the court and off. This is coming from a former UGA athlete who understands the distractions Athens poses for any college kid. However, if you believe in what the team is trying to accomplish, you will keep your nose clean of all that off court trouble. The bottom line is that it is evident that the team does not share CDF's passion and vision and work ethic and it is CDF's responsiblity as a Coach to inspire. He just doesn't have controll of his team and it's time to make a change IMO.

Jeremy Price was in bad foul trouble early Paul, and he was simply ineffective. They were collapsing on the post, and he struggled.

Wednesday night was ugly, flat ugly. We kept going inside, but our bigs weren't able to back down players a solid 20-30 pounds lighter. It was the basic Felton offense we've seen for so many games (try inside, bad pass and not there, back out to someone who penetrates into 3 people and backs out again, couple pointless passes around the ring, back inside, nothing, back outside for a rushed 3 with under 5 seconds on the shot clock. Just ugly. We had a winnable game. A very winnable game. All we had to do was hit shots. The only one who did was Woodbury (who was the only one on the floor shooting when I arrived at a little over an hour before, and was the only one for a good 20 minutes).
